Interpretive

What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

The most important thing I learned from this experience was getting to discover if this would be the right career choice for me. Choosing a career is something very important because you must dedicate four or more years of your life to studying for that specific thing. Spending over 50 hours in two different mentorships that involved psychology made me realize that psychology might not possibly be the right career field for me.

How has what you’ve done helped you to answer your EQ?  Please explain.

At Tri City I had the chance to spend time with main different teens who suffered from mental illness. With that type of atmosphere I observed the teens attitudes towards different things along the day or hour that they were at the wellness center. It helped me see how the teens and parents expressed themselves to each other. In my essential question I address the teen, which is the patient and the parents who would be the backbone of the treatment. Both my mentors helped me by pointing out specific things as in a treatment that is bound to fail because the parents are not collaborating with the psychologist.
